Enrique Urges Liverpool To Sign “Nightmare” La Liga Speedster Who Will Be Available For 44.7M Next Summer

Liverpool should consider making a move for Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele, according to Jose Enrique.

The former Reds defender believes that the Frenchman would be a great addition for the Merseyside club, with the player possessing attributes that make him a “nightmare” to defend against:

“He can go left or right. He can do exactly the same and you don’t know which way he is going to go. As a former fullback, it would be a nightmare to stop someone like Dembele because he is quick and he can use both feet.”

“I am very happy that he recently renewed his contract, then we will see what happens. It looks like he is coming back to his best – he’s up there with the best when he’s in form.”

“Hopefully, in the future, he is a player that can play for us (Liverpool). If he stays fit, and he has his mindset right, he is one of the best on everything as a winger.”

As Enrique mentions, Dembele only signed a new deal with Barca recently but it includes a release clause which means teams can sign him for only €50m (£44.7m) at the end of the season.

Liverpool have been linked with the 25-year-old in the past, with manager Jurgen Klopp said to be a big fan of the player, so it stands to reason that the Reds would be keeping tabs on his situation.

The likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Manchester United have also been interested in Dembele previously so the forward could have a number of suitors if he continues to impress between now and next summer.
